mo greai, majoruy ox ine teacners are

of success which they have attained
amidst jb( many obstacles.
The beneficial result of the Teachers'
Institute held-here! last summer are
plainly to be seen and are everywhere
felt and acknowledged by the teachers
themselves. j7! ). 7 1
Especially is this manifested in their
increased efiSciency abd success as com
pared with the work of those who from
various causes Were pre ventedfrora at
tending it. And in this connection allow
me to urge upon your Body the wisdom
and indeed the urgent necessity for the
authorized appropriation for the Insti
tutes this year. One of the most noted
Educators of our country recently said : j
"If I were. to undertake the education of
the children of the State as an individual
enterprise, with the school fund as the fixed
price, I would use one-tenth of it to train
a body of competen t teachers, and with
the other ninetcnths as wages would ac
complish more than the whole would do
as now used in the payment of unprepar
ed instructors." Not only make the nec
essary appropriation, ;hut by yoBr influ
ence and presence aid in making it the ,
most powerful lever in our Educational
machinery. Public opinion is fast con
centrating on this truth, that the teacher
needs special training fortius vocation,
just as the mechanic, the physician, the
lawyer, the minister. I 7
But untrained specialists are. by no
means the only hindrances to success in '
1
our Public Schools. In many cases our '
schools are so overcrowded that no
er can produce satisfactory results. Sev-
eral report an enrollment of over seventy '
(70) pupils, one of eighty-one, and only
one teacher in each school j whilst in oth-l
er Districts tbenou-attendance of thbjM);
actually enrolled is a Serious iujurysomo ;
averaging only? serc'to bf eight pupils. :

to have discussed our new school system
.
jn all of the townships, but owing to the
inclemency aud uncertainty, of , the win-

cuit. These meetincs have usually been
well attended, and owing to the ' hearty
,
cu-uperuiiuu vi fcuiue oi uur most promi
nent citizens, as Hon. J. L. Graiber, Dr.
J. G. Eamsay, and others, I trust some
good has been accomplished in this direc
tion. I Oor Teachers' Association meeting

ty, is also accomplishing mueh in this
line.- - ' jr j' 1
A Report of the ccnools would be radi
cally incomplete without some mention
of the condition of the school -houses.
They are usually constructed of logs,
with the chinking and! daubing to a large
extent gone, unceiled even overhead,
sometimes without windows, and when
suppliedwith them rarely can you find a
sash with unbroken j panes, Vin lone case
with uo door jshutter the roof frequent
ly leaky, the floor openi and the usual
furniture hard undressed pine slaVs with
out backs, and perhaps al writing bench.
School apparatus is practically unknown.
I found one school taught in an old to
bacco barn two in dwelling houses, 4and
frequently in chnrchesl 1 t 7 .
There are, , however many honorable
exceptions to the above .description, and

Of the colored districts there is one re

thirty three with, a population of less
than 20, twenty-five with an average of
less than 14, sixteen less than 7, eleven
less than 4, and four with no children at
all!
. Thus you will at once perceive the very
great discrepancy in the present arrange
meat of district lines, which were estab
lished just thrirty five years ago and
even then as may be readily shown by
the minutes of the "County Superinten
dents of Pnblic Schools of Rowan'1' were
quite unsatisfactory both to members of
the Board and to the people. The popu
lation of the different districts at that.tiuie
varied from 33 to 119. Of the compara
tive size of these districts it may be not
ed there is also very great difference be
tween them, as one or two of them are
too small, but usually they are entirely
too large j in several instances they are
from five to seven miles in length and
.onictioies only from one aud a half to
two miles in breadth. : Auother objection
to some of them is the . well-known fact
that some of them are bisected by one or
more of our Rowan creeks which are no
toriously unmanageable at the 6eason
when, our common schools usually are
taught. '
As this Honorable Board has hitherto
invariably refused tor alter. District lines,
various remedies haye been' tried, but usu
ally have proven inefficient. Two school
houses in the large districts is the favorite
panacea, but not sttopping to discuss the
many practical difficulties which arise from
having twoj schools and one committee, it
is usually the" case that whilst the District
is too large for one school it is' not large
enough for two, and as the two buildings
are necessarily placed near the sides or
ends of the. Diatrirt tli nnt. nnlr mnL-b tn

moriey enough to run a six pr seven months ; lief. In less than five minutes they had
school, about one half of the ninety four
j will be compelled to call on vou for assist-
ance, and whilst it is urged with some show
of reason that this measure will cost some
thing, it is also true that the special tax for
next winter must run np into the hundreds
of dollars, and the total cost of redisrict
ing need not exceed seventy-five dollars
(175.00). -Only by this change can the
large surplus in the crowded districts be
utilized for the benefit of the smaller ones.
I have devoted thus a considerable por
tion of my Report to this subject, as I deem
it one of vital importance to the success of
our schools. "
In conclusion I jhiak' I maj safely say
that the Educational outlook over our en
tire State is favorable, tliat '.the; people are
accepting the present Law as i an onward
step long needed in our common school
system, and that there has been more gener
al interest taken in our schools this winter
than ever before, and it only remains for
the true friends of Popular Educatian to
foster and encourage this spirit until our
good eld State shall soon remove from her
escutcheon that foul dark blot of illiteracy

: 'Mr.'eiay had aldrge and -expeneive
"fiimilynd keenly: felt fjis eyhile
he lost no oppornnity of , expressing liis
gratitude to friends known and.unknown
for all kinds of favors.
. "The '.day upon which Mr.' Webster
made his celebrated speech in March,
1850, he vas highly eulogizing it alt din
ner, when some one asked-him if he did
not think N Mr. Webster's influence had
been greatly ! impaired ,by ids allowing
certain wealthy men in Massachusetts to
settle annuity upon him for abandoning
his practice in the courts so as to devote
more time to public affairs. Mr. Clay
responded: ij
"In view of the manner-in which my
note was paid at a bank in Kentucky,
do not think I ought to speak upon that
subject. ' With difficultyj l had raised the
money to pay the interest when I went
to the bank to ask a renewal. The cash
ier told me I had no note there. Tasked
him what had become of it, and said
he was 'instructed to answer no ques
tions. And never have I been able to
find out who paid it; but,"turning to
Judge Conrad of New Orleans, he said :
Judge, I always supposed you had
something to do with that matter.7
To which he responded :
'Whether I or any one else had any-
thing to do with the matter, jou will
"over 'know.'
Mr. Clay theu said : :i
'Iu view of my mauy opponents, I am
as thankful for the secrecy as the money;
but when I am free from public lifej I am
going to Insist upon knowing who were
such benefactors. When some one said:
'Mr. Clay, your friends will never let
you be free from public lifo., j
'In that view, sentlenien said he, 'bear
witues to my inexpressible gratitude to
my friends, not only for their favojf, but
for their imanner of bestowing it,' adding
that there was but one unpleasaut j thing
abopt it that it was the ouly present he
had eyer received that he could not di
vide witlt his friend. Here Judge j Con-
! rad observed :
- 'That need not trouble you, as you had
liberally divided the proceeds before you
gave the note.'
I You are right,' says Clay, 'the' note
wus principally giveu to take op the pa-
Pr of frieuds which I had endorsed.'
